Rescuing stranded Iraqis from the Sinjar mountains

Looks like the helicopters are dropping off food packages and on return trips taking as many of th desperate people the helicopters can hold.  In the vids (I am presuming these are two separate pick ups)  you can see that while the helicopters are in flight, the gunners have to fight off the ISIS as they target the rescuers.


From CNN:
The Iraqi air force and fighters with the Kurdish peshmerga carried out a dramatic rescue mission Monday at Mount Sinjar, taking supplies to desperate Yazidis and bringing some on board the helicopter to make it safely out.


A CNN crew was on the flight that took diapers, milk, water and food to the site where thousands of people have been driven by ISIS, which calls itself the Islamic State.
CNN's Ivan Watson, who was on the chopper, described the mission as "heroic."
Teams hurled out bags and boxes of food from as high as 50 feet before approaching the ground.........
